FIELD

The present invention relates to a medical device, and more particularly, to a lateral grinding drill with continuously variable angle used in orthopedics surgery and a driving component.

BACKGROUND

The bone tissue in the body sometimes needs to be grinded in orthopedic surgery. In the prior art, the grinding head is generally driven by a power handle directly to rotate for grinding. Since the grinding head is directly driven by the power handle, and the grinding head is required to extend into the human body, it is difficult to control the grinding head when the grinding head reaches a surgery site that is difficult to observe. Especially when different positions are required to be grinded, the grinding head is hard to be changed to accommodate the positions required to be grinded. Such grinding head is inconvenient to use, causing a low efficiency of the surgery.

In order to solve the above problem, a flexible grinding head appeared. The grinding head can be controlled to perform pitching action in response to changes in positions required to be grinded. The grinding head has a structure with a universal joint for connecting and driving. The structure is complex and its manufacturing process is also complex. With the structure, the radius of the grinding tool is increased, while the above orthopedic surgery generally requires the whole of the grinding tool have a small external diameter, otherwise the grinding tool cannot reach the surgery position, or motion interference can happen during the surgery. Meanwhile, in the structure, a connection structure with a universal joint can be used to implement pitching motion and rotating transmission between the grinding head and the inner tube, but such structure is complex and cannot be controlled stablely. In addition, the structure can only implement the pitching action, and cannot implement adaptive operations corresponding to the change of the portion required to be grinded in circumferential direction, so that both the grinding tool and the driving handle should change direction integrally, resulting in inconvenience for use. Further, the driving part for driving the pitching action is relatively primitive, which affects the compactness of the grinding tool.

As a result, there is a requirement to provide a lateral grinding drill with continuously variable angle, which can adjust the position of the grinding head in longitudinal direction and circumferential direction during surgery, have a good adaptability for the surgery position and good accuracy to improve the efficiency in surgery operation, and shorten postoperative recovery time, to alleviate the suffering of the patients while reducing treatment cost. In addition, the whole of the lateral grinding drill with continuously variable angle is detachable, with a simple structure, in which, the transmission chain is short that it is easy for stable control to improve the efficiency of the surgery.

As shown in the figures, the lateral grinding drill with continuously variable angle according to the present invention, i.e., medical grinding tool, includes a tube body component and a grinding head 1 arranged at the front end of the tube body component, the grinding head 1 being configured to be driven to pitch and rotate on its own axis, wherein the tube body component includes an outer tube body 3 and an inner tube body 11 which is coaxially arranged inside the outer tube body 3 and configured to be rotatablely fit with the outer tube body 3 and the grinding head 11, the tail end of the grinding head 1 is articulated to the inner tube body 11 along the circumferential direction in a form of transmission, and a flexible transmission part 13 is arranged at least on the front end of the inner tube body 11 , which is configured to be articulated to the tail end of the grinding head 1 and be able to transmit torque. The pitching described here means rotating at a certain angle to the axis of the tube body component. The grinding head rotating on its own axis described here means the grinding head is driven to rotate for grinding. The grinding head can be adjusted to be coaxial with the tube body component when it is used, and can be adjusted to a position of suitable pitch angle for grinding according to the need after it enters into a working circumstance. The grinding head may carry out grinding after pitching. The transmission means adapting the change of the transmission axis through the flexible transmission part.

In the embodiment, an articulation groove 1 d with an opening end is formed at the tail end of the grinding head 1, and the front end of the flexible transmission part 13 is provided with a rod-shaped articulation portion 13 a which is configured to be rotatablely fit with the flexible transmission part and articulated and fit with the articulation groove. In addition to having the flexible transmission part 13 to fit the rotation of the grinding head on its own axis driven after the pitching operation, there is some movement space between the articulation groove 1 d and the rod-shaped articulation portion 13 a to fit the length difference generated after the pitching operation, so the rotation may be smooth, and the inner tube body 11 and the flexible transmission part 13 can be drew form the outer tube body 2 to be convenient for assembly and disassemble.

In the embodiment, the rod-shaped articulation portion 13 a and the flexible transmission part 13 form a T-shaped structure. In this way, it may not only ensure the transmission strength of the articulated structure, but also make the outer tube body 3 pass smoothly after its articulated position for pitching has been thickened inwards. Of course, the articulation portion of such structure can also be available for an articulation groove without an opening.

In the embodiment, the root of the connection between the flexible transmission part and the rod-shaped articulation portion is necking on the T-shaped plane. Such structure can be adapted to the structure of the articulation groove and not interfere with the groove wall of the articulation groove 1 d, when the rod-shaped articulation portion 13 a moves laterally and rotationally from the articulation groove 1 d after the rod-shaped articulation portion 13 a being articulated to the articulation groove 1 d.

In the embodiment, the grinding head 1 is provided with a grinding head handle 1 a, and the articulation groove 1 d is located on the tail end of the grinding head handle 1 a. The front end of the outer tube body 3 is articulated with a grinding head mount sheath 4 in a single degree of freedom mode, the grinding head handle 1 a is arranged inside the grinding head mount sheath 4 and configure to be rotatablely fit with the grinding head mount sheath 4 in a single degree of freedom mode, and the grinding head 1 has a grinding blade extending out of the grinding head mount sheath 4.

The flexible transmission part 13 is connected to the front end of the inner tube body 11 through threaded connection or locking connection, with a good adaptation, and the flexible transmission part can be replaced according to needs to ensure the long-term operation of the tool. The rod-shaped articulation portion 13 a is integrally formed on the front end of the flexible transmission part 13. The articulation in a single degree of freedom mode means that the relative motion between the parts articulated together is limited in the transmission direction of the articulation, and the means for articulation can be an existing articulated structure with shaft. Since such structure tends to be small, it is appropriate to provide an articulation groove on a part, and process a rod-shaped structure matching with the articulation groove or two radially symmetric ball structures on another part. As shown in FIG. 4, two curved articulation joints 3 a are radially oppositely formed on the front end face of the outer tube body 3, and two curved articulation grooves 4 a are radially oppositely formed on the tail end face of the grinding head mount sheath 4 and configured for inserting the two curved articulation joints 3 a to form an articulated structure of a single degree of freedom. In this way, it is simple in structure, convenient for processing, flexible for the articulation to rotate, and easy to disassemble. In addition, this structure makes the axis of the outer tube body and the axis of the articulation be located on the same plane.

As shown in the figures, the grinding head handle 1 a has axial movement space after being articulated to the flexible transmission part 13, to form a complete open articulated structure which is formed by inserting the rod-shaped articulation portion 13 a into the articulation groove 1 d directly and has axial movement space to make the relative movement between the grinding head handle 1 a and the rod-shaped articulation portion 13 a smooth, so that the inner tube body 11 and the flexible transmission part 13 can be drawn out at any time to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. This structure removes the universal shaft structure of the existing technologies, achieves the compactness of the structure and reduction of the volume, and is more applicable for deep and narrow space.

In the embodiment, the outer tube body is configured to be driven to rotate along the circumferential direction, so that the grinding head mount sheath and grinding head are configured to be driven to revolute.
